This is my wife's family and very little is known of her ancestry.
Apparently the elders never talked about the past. Appreciate hearing
from anyone familiar with this family.

MILTON MCKEE worked for the Quincy railroad and died in a railroad accident on Sunday Nov 4, 1883 at Tracy, MN. He died the 7th of Nov. I need to know the newspaper which would cover for Tracy in 1883 and where to obtain a death certificate. The Quincy railroad sent his body home to be buried. He was born 4 March 1854 in Morgan County, OH and grew up in Glenwood, IA. Any information helping me to follow up will be appreciated.

Mon Jan 26 23:06:38 1998 Would like a copy of the obituary of Martha Agnes (Simons) ROSE, who died March 27, 1927 reportedly in Tracy, Lyons Co., MN. Martha's husband James M. Rose and his Son William
are buried in the Tracy cemetery. Martha, after the death of
James, married a man by the name of Dow E. LEWIS, but
divorced and I assume retained her first husbands name.
Please advise cost of a copy and will send money and address where to be sent.

Hi! My name is Stacy KENNEY. I am looking for information on my greatgrandfather Frank Kenney. His parents died shortly after his birth and he was taken in by his sister and her husband who may have owned a farm in Minnesota. He was born on Feb. 13 or 14 1870. His sister was Viola May Kenney, and married Mr. William RHINEHIMER. I really would like to know Frank's or Viola May's parents names and any other information you have on them if possible. Frank and Viola's parents were the first of my family to come to the U.S. from Ireland and in order to trace the family there, I need to know all the info about them as possible.
